This 2017 project was meant to restore the DigiBarn's Xerox Alto II/XM computer from Xerox Palo Alto Research Center by way of Ron Cude. Marc and his team undergo a heroic effort around this "basket case" Alto which may have been a spare parts machine. Ron Cude was the main service tech to keep Altos running and this was the last machine he had in his garage picked up by DigiBarn curator Bruce Damer back in 2003 for his Alto@30 celebration that year.
